Created for Digital Artist Magazine. I used Painter X.

The article is about fur with comparisons and contrasts with real fur and sculpted fur and how to paint it. I used some models from the Google Warehouse and traced the background structures, then painted forever. You can see the line art here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1629405/ruins3.jpg The statue is based on the Landseer lions in London.

I wanted there to be an feel of mystery and curiosity. The lion is curious about the stone lion while being a mysterious critter himself! This piece looks soooo cool printed big.
